We all love songs that we can instantly relate to, don’t we? Usman Shaikh‘s fourth single, Safar, is just that, relatable! Safar is a story of us all.
Based out of the fabulous pink city Jaipur, Usman is a classically trained musician and has been perfecting his craft for 7 years now. With 3 prior singles and over 1000 stage appearances, Usman is getting his feet more firmly into the indie community. He has amassed over a lakh streams across all streaming platforms and is confidently building his community with his relatable lyrics and fluid songwriting.
Safar is a light-hearted song that talks about something we all can empathize with. The arrangement is catchy and takes you on a musical rollercoaster. Lovely palm-muted guitars and vocal harmonies are at the center of Safar. Controlled drums perfectly accentuate the various moods of the song and keep you entertained. Safar has a texture of silly, daydreaming, and naivety that makes it so relatable to everyone. This is Usman’s signature trait, taking inspiration from real-life experiences as themes for his songs. Lyrics, so fitting to the Safar’s theme, is penned by Anant Gupta. We love Usman’s musicality and are keenly looking forward to more soon. Go on a journey of your own with Safar!
P.S. We at ICC do not review the music we post in our magazine because we want our readers and the artiste’s listeners to go and listen to the music with an open mind! We try to describe the song the way we perceive it and why we love it!
